Close monitoring of the patient is necessary to prevent iatrogenic complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, hypothermia, or
hypoproteinemia
. Exploratory thoracotomy for removal of granulomatous material and fibroelastic pleural "peels" is occasionally necessary to resolve compressive cardiopulmonary lesions.
